If you want to keep up with the Joneses and even go one up on them, why not pick up these Solar Garden Spotlights that resemble a rock until you realize that there is a huge spotlight attached to each of them, putting vampires and other creatures of the night to flight the moment they are faced with its immense brightness. Having all that sunlight beat down on your lawn during the day without utilizing its power is such a waste, which is why these Solar Garden Spotlights actually feature rechargeable batteries that are charged by the sun. Using natural, renewable energy not only helps you save on your power bill, it also helps keep the lawn neat and tidy without fear or worry of tripping over nasty power cables.

With the amount of current mp3 players in the market and taking in consideration that each week there are even more players being released, it gets hard to create an interesting product that doesn’t resemble the rest, if you know what I mean…

I guess this is how some companies think: create an interesting and original shape for the player, come up with an original and cool name, keep almost the same specifications that all the other mp3 players have, and boom, there is a new device on the market, simple as that. Some bet on big storage capacities to attract buyers, while others go for the lowest price possible.

Anyway, enough with the chit-chat and onto the real juice of this post – the “latest” JVC Digital Audio Player with the following code name XA-AW33-W. I believe JVC skipped one of the steps I previously described, which was picking a cool name for the device, but that small detail can be forgotten if the features are amazing, which seem to be the case with the JVC product:

• waterproof and capable of floating on the water, think of it as a rubber ducky that can sing your favorite songs.
• the water resistance rates match the Japanese Standard, which gives this player a limit of 30 minutes under the water with a depth of 1 meter.

We’re currently in the process of recruiting some new blood to the writing team of Coolest Gadgets, we’ve had about 20 applicants which I am sifting though (if you haven’t heard back from me yet you will do very soon, whilst if you meant to apply it’s not too late yet).

Whilst taking on new writers I thought it would be a good time to re-evaluate how many posts we do on a daily basis and more importantly how many posts you the reader would like us to do on a daily basis. So please let us know by voting in the poll or leaving a comment.

If you reading this via the feed or a personalised Google home page you’ll need to visit the site to cast your vote. Thanks in advance everybody.

This electromagnetic photo frame is a very interesting way of looking at your favorite pictures that are kept floating in the air thanks to a very clever system. The photo frame comes with a magnetic field sensor on the top and a microprocessor and electronics in the base to keep your photos always in the correct position by calculating the distance between the photo and the frame, and making the necessary adjustments.

Moppels are cartoon character like lights that you pose and direct as required, so there’s no need to hold a flashlight between your teeth whilst you’re fiddling round the back of your PC under the desk. Simply position your Moppel in a super hero like pose and let him do the torch holding for you.

And there’s not just one Moppel there’s a whole load to collect (though I must admit I’m not sure what sort of person would collect bendable LED figures), including: Mars Moppel, Dino Moppel, Space Moppel and the list goes.

You can get your own Moppel army from Lights and Knives, found via a review on the gadgeteer, now where’s my free Moppel .

I’ve always found magnets to be pretty fascinating things, I’m not sure if I believe in the healing power of them but for those who do these are the ideal rings, the Neodymium Magnet Rings.

Neodymium magnets are some of the most powerful in the world and these magnetic rings can be used for pain relieve using magnetic therapy and as they only cost $25.00 they’re much cheaper than conventional wedding rings .
